Part I: Development Theories: Examination of Different Perspectives Throughout the course, I have learned that modernization theories emphasize more on the importance of industrialization process in economic development and growth. In this case, social, political, and cultural consequences of economic growth, including other significant factors that drive industrialization must come into play. Economic Development and Modernization Theory In the topic “Economic development and modernization theories,” it shows that sociologist has an essential role in promoting modernization. At the beginning of the topic, I thought modernization and positive change in the standards of living of people are solely depended on the authorities. However, at the end of the topic, I realize that sociologists have an essential role in transforming society. For example, holding that many leaders in the developing world have diverging and dissecting views on modernization and the influence of political, economic, and cultural consequences on social development, sociologists have the role of emphasizing on the importance of essential matters not being considered in the modernization of the society. In this regard, since most of the underdeveloped communities do not…
Organisational Change Introduction Change management is among the most involving tasks of managerial work because professionals have the necessary skills and competence (Seidl and Werle, 2017, p.1). Change in an organisation is a vital factor that the business must adapt to the global economic situation and the changing market demands (Seidl and Werle, 2017, p.27). Organisational change has emerged in the past decades as scholars develop models, plans, and theories to help understand the impact of adjustments in organisations (Immordino, 2017, p.129). Businesses and organisations need to evolve for them to survive, and thus, they should apply a change model to realise success and avoid taking anything to chance. Change models help businesses to organise resources, identify possible challenges, and keep the team of professionals informed about the progress. This work compares and contrasts three models of organisational change that include Karl Weick’s sensemaking perspective, Kotter’s change management theory, and the McKinsey 7-S model. Organisational Change Karl Weick’s Sensemaking Perspective Sensemaking refers to creating a set of plans with interpretive possibilities instead of having a collection of knowledge (Weick, 1995,…
Space Shuttle Challenger’s Mission Failure Organizational culture is a crucial factor that management and stakeholders should emphasize. Failure to pay attention to this factor, a negative outcome is likely to occur in the organization. Failure of the space shuttle challenger’s mission is the perfect example, and it has formed a significant basis for several studies concerning the organizational culture. The 1986 unfortunate incident took place amid the high aspiration of many to witness the triumphal landing of the space shuttle in the space. Many people were watching the mission all over the earth. The students had an opportunity to watch the event as one teacher had been selected by NASA to fly via the “Teachers in Space” program. The mission, however, failed 73 seconds after the taking off from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, killing seven crew of astronauts and one civilian teacher. Due to the incident, a presidential commission was convened to establish the cause of the explosion of the space vehicle. The commission comprised of NASA’s astronauts, Neil Armstrong (The first man to land on the moon) and other…

The response of “Reply to the US Government.” I think that Chief Seattle appears trustworthy in his speech because he confesses that the God of the white man is powerful, and their God has forsaken them. Furthermore, he reiterates that the white men are many in numbers compared to them. That is why chief Seattle replies to the letter by saying that let them be given ample time to ponder over the matter of selling their land to the US government. Furthermore, Chief Seattle says that their young men paint their faces black because they have become angry and impulsive due to the misfortunes that befall their tribe. Moreover, when the young men paint their faces black, it signifies that their hearts have become black with rage, and now they have turned to be relentless. Furthermore, Chief Seattle declares a condition that in case they agree to the demands of the US government, they should be allowed to visit the tombs of their ancestors, friends and children. This is because the dead are not powerless; therefore, the spirits of their…
Stage of Product Life Cycle According to Berkowitz (2017), all services and products have a life cycle that consists of four key stages; introduction, growth, maturity, and decline. The Relay Health’s e-platform is in its introductory phase and is in the process of entering the growth stage that will get it established into the market. The introduction stage occurs when a product has been rolled to the market, and it is yet to experience growth. Although the e-platform has many benefits to patients and providers, its adoption has been slow. Due to its slow performance, there is a need for Relay Health to build a position in the market. Relay Health is, however, facing a tough completion from companies offering similar online care services like American Well. In the introduction stage, the company needs to conduct extensive market research to help it in deciding on the services to offer, who the services are to be offered to, and the cost of the services (Berkowitz, 2017). To ensure that the online care service provided by Relay Health grows, this is the…
Beauty play review In the play “Beauty” by Jane Martin, there are two main characters, Carla and Bethany, who are opposing each other. In this essay, I will use this conflict and their discontent and jealousy to demonstrate Carla’s character and show who she is. Carla is a young and beautiful upcoming model “Bethany, dear one, and I have three modelling calls. I am meeting Ralph Lauren!”. She is beautiful but unsuccessful model without brain and personality. She wants to be smart and therefore works to become fashionable. Carla is aware of the cons and issues of being beautiful and attempt explaining it to Bethany to stop wishing for it. However, she is not satisfied with her life since she is envious of Bethany’s life. As her friend, Carla depicts feelings of jealous to Bethany and also her achievement. Carla lacks wit besides being young and beautiful. She understands the problems of being beautiful. Hence, men accord her extreme much attention, to the extent that Carla’s life revolves around going on dates and spending much time talking on the phone…
Crime and criminal defendants In many cases, criminal defendants have argued that their clients never intended to commit a crime, but instead, the crime was committed as a result of a mistake of facts. In criminal law, there are two types of errors. These include the mistakes of law and mistakes of facts. Mistakes of fact arise when a criminal offender misinterpreted some facts regarding the crime that disproves the element of the crime. In essence, a mistake of fact is when an unknown is presented in the case that proves that the defendant is innocent in regards to the crime committed. It is important to note that a mistake of fact must be honest and most reasonable—for example, a person accused of larceny. A mistake of fact can arise when the accused proves that the property belongs to him or her. Thus this negates the intent to steal from another person. Mistakes of law refer to a crime committed without the knowledge of the existence of the law. This is why it is emphasized that people be aware of…
